I saw a previous question about how to turn off the annoying keyboard sounds when you type but saw no resolution. What suggestions do you have? I have turned off the option in settings as outlined online. I'm using a laptop not a 3rd party keyboard. Using Windows 11. How can I get rid of this sound when I type?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    Hello,

    Not sure what settings you did already.. Check Windows Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Filter keys, turn off the "Beep when keys are pressed or accepted".

    If this is already turned off, perform a clean boot, and see if the beep still happens in clean boot environment.

    Do a clean boot using this instruction: https://support.microsoft.com/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd

    Make sure you follow the instruction closely and do NOT disable the Microsoft services.

    Use Windows 11 accessibility and typing settings to eliminate most keyboard-related sounds.

    1. Open keyboard accessibility settings:
      1. Press Windows logo key + U to open Accessibility settings.
      2. Select Keyboard.
      3. Turn off the following (if they are on):
        • Toggle keys (plays a sound when pressing Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock)
        • Any other keyboard feedback options that produce sounds.
    2. Check typing/text features that may give audio feedback:
      1. Press Windows logo key + I to open Settings.
      2. Go to Time & language > Typing.
      3. Review options such as text suggestions or other typing aids; disable anything that might be providing sound feedback.
    3. If the issue is with system audio alerts (for example, when a key is held or an invalid key combo is pressed), switch to visual instead of audio alerts:
      1. Open Settings > Accessibility > Audio.
      2. Under Flash my screen during audio notifications, choose a visual option so notifications are shown visually instead of relying on sound.

    After changing these settings, test typing again. If sounds persist, also check any vendor-specific keyboard or audio utility that may be preinstalled by the laptop manufacturer, as those can add their own keypress sounds outside of Windows settings.
